I was going to send you article from Chamber of commerce offering tax incentives to businesses that will hire illegals
I live in Berkshire County Pittsfield is a s*** hole this will be interesting
Stop pay for the immigrants. This is so disgusting
Heck yeahhhh!
The Governor can make a deal with the Federal Government to
negotiate with the Federal Government that MA will give up the Sanctuary State
Stupidity and assist with the deportation of the migrants using State and Local law officers, then
the Federal Government will forgive or lessen the amount of the debt. So we the People of MA can survive.

They should start paying it back by giving back their 11% raise they didn't deserve
Baker is a republican.....so I'm laughing
🤡💩💀
This is why LOCAL elections are so dang important, yet look at voter turnout for local elections......abysmal. Plus, only dems are out here educating voters, their way. Half the time, these dems run unopposed! I can't tell you how many times I've made up names as a wright in on ballots bc I'd rather throw my vote in the trash, or vote for 'your mom' or 'Fred McFeely Rogers' or 'Greg Brady' than EVER vote dem again, i changed parties in 2015, I'm running out of nonsense names to wrote in lol, it's depressing really.
We need to educate voters, dem style....get on the phones and get out in the neighborhoods and talking to voters about the upcoming positions and why they should vote red or NOT vote dem.....ever again, lol.....but we can start one election at a time. I think thats the only way it'll change ENOUGH, people just go with what's familiar and we need to be out here showing them why that's not good enough anymore. 😊
He was a GOPer, not a DEM.
They keep deleting my comments.
Baker and Healy are liars, misused it missing federal COVID funds???
They stole the federal money and most pay back the federal funds. Collect it from you these mysterious people that supposedly received COVID funds in error. You have records if you're not lying.
Massachusetts is not in a little trouble, it’s in a lot of trouble !
No Healy and Baker are in trouble taxpayers are the victims of theft.
Corrupt public servants should not be ruining our lives with debt. They probably can’t balance a check book.
Every single state employee and official needs to be audited, and investigated,
..we need to and have every right to know who may have been embezzling from our tax dollars,
Audit every dept as well, and I guarantee lots of discrepancies will begin to show right away..
We now have the power to do this, so let's put it to work.
..and hold everyone accountable in our courts of law.
Every town employee as well!
Another reason for Diana DiZogio to audit all of Massachusetts.
I worry about her safety and that's sad.
We will never know what’s behind the door without an honest to god audit
Get em!
She should have a special security company hired to protect her. Ask any one in this state and they will tell you they fear the politicians and the big wigs more than the gangs.
It's easy for illegals to open businesses in Massachusetts.
This is unbelievable and unacceptable
Massachusetts needs to get rid of all the useless government positions and overseers of overseers, and put a stop to the high cost of migrants and get our government officials back to the office, put a cap on their overtime and that will save us a ton.
MA was thinking "free bag of cash" and spent it like a drunken sailor.
Oh boy.
They always do.
Taxpayers always on the hook for politicians' screw ups.
Baker started the sanctuery state and bailed out knowing the shit would hit the fan eventually.
MA is not a sanctuary state. Boston is a sanctuary city in the 80s, long before Baker. In fact Baker did a lot to circumvent Bostons's "sanctuary" status.
I recall the time when Boston first took these measures...horrifying things were happening to people who were already being trafficked to work in near slave like conditions. People were being protected by churches and Boston merely declared that swat couldn't enter "sensitive" areas to apprehend people. Given what all was happening at the time I agree with what Boston did. I don't understand how that protection stops ICE from apprehending actual criminals today even outside Boston...there has to be more to the story.
Send the bill to Baker and all of the state house hacks . No pay raises until paid.
She should have caught that it was illegal as AG
the lottery will fix any financial short falls....no wait we will legalize pot that will work.....just tax the millionaires more that is the answer....mass is so ridiculous.....this is what happens in a one party state..
😂😂😂 you silly rabbit Baker is a republican and this happened under his watch 🤦🏾♂️ realize they don’t have our best interests in mind at all.
Don't forget the casinos. That was also supposed to save us.
@@workingshlub8861 That's what I keep saying. When you have one party it it's always the same thought. Process the same concept over and over again. These people have nothing outstanding to provide to the state because they don't know how to let go over their political leftist ideology.
Wait a minute ….is it me or is that about the exact amount we spent on a legal immigrants in this state
Our welfare and disability fraud is just as much a problem
Those are actually federal programs administered by the state.
@Sulaco2089 maybe it's not a good idea to let a corrupt state manage it,so we don't make mistakes
@ it’s just as much our fault as it is theirs as we elect them and then do nothing when they do exactly the opposite of what we want and voted for citizens need to get together and get these people out of office and then get educated on the people we are electing
@Sulaco2089 amen to that.Most I know don't want to talk politics.But complain how broke they are.
@ 100% I hear people all the time complain but then say but there’s nothing we can do but actually there is all it will take is a couple politicians, getting recalled letting them see the people mean business and watch how fast the American people by voting go back to running America versus people basically just voting for a corporation through a politician and We need to abolish the healthcare system in this country and I’m not talking about implementing universal healthcare. I mean the way healthcare is run in the United States today. A business decision shouldn’t impact a decision about your health when that decision is made by a nurse at an insurance company not even a doctor. America has not only gone off the rails the locomotive exploded, and there were no survivors in my opinion.
58 born in Boston nothing has changed in Boston since I was born. Total corruption top to bottom.

You forgot to say immigrants too
Our ex Attorney General, now governor beaver keeper , was in a position to take care of this mess but she didn t do anything But sue Trump!
It wasn't a mistake, they just thought they wouldn't get caught. Why do u think Tall Davall took off so fast? He was a good soldier and got the golden parachute with the NCAA for following marching orders.
Baker is a REPUBLICAN he was the gov during the pandemic
Baker was the one who got the job with the NCAA, not Deval.
Baker is a Republican in suit only typical RiNO he leaned Democrat and towed the line @@robertkopper8226
@@robertkopper8226He might as well have been Dem. Critical thinking sure isn't your strong suit.
@@Topkick389You are correct and thanks for stating the facts.
Just immigration cost 2 billion
The real question is why did they wait to tell us
They needed to make a deal before Joe left
So now we the taxpayers owe over 3 billion dollars including interest that grows with interest more over time?
I can’t see ever paying that off.
That's the point.
This State needs to be investigated. Every department. From the health care to the Dot.
This isn't the tax payers fault !!!!......people should loose there jobs over this !!!
The correct word is LOSE.
Not LOOSE.
Example:
1) Mass residents are about to LOSE big time.
2) LOOSE fitting pants are coming back in style.
Figured I'd point this out since it's a very common error.
Apathy . Indifference . Complacency . Neglect . " We the People " deserve better.
I saw this. 🤣🤣🤣 I would think the incoming Governor would have been aware of this. I feel they did know but didn't say anything until they were caught. Mismanaged once again. 🙏🇺🇸✌️😎
Transparency in this state is as clear as a brick wall.
Comparing MA and CT is like comparing a failure to a slightly less failure. I live in CT and it's a shit show here. I've been elected into local government for a while and it's amazing the disdain the state has for the people that live in it.
If they hate the people, why bother representing them
@denisebatalha3552 because they have a line of people voting D straight down the line. These people have zero accountability. Whenever asked to questions, they hem and haw saying nothing. They literally expect people to come to them asking for more welfare like we are stupid and want handouts.
At least CT has some adults in the state government.
@creeper2054 we have a few, but they are far outnumbered.
Massafornia!
Time to flip MA RED.
Impossible. Too much stupid
Time to vote them out ...... WAKE UP
Baker was red. 😢
@davidchoquette4522 it is already happening..areas outside of Boston are already red . MA is more than just Boston. Places you would not think, have gone red
Baker was red, bozo. How do you think we got in this mess?😂😂😂
Mass is a complete clown 😂
What you are talking about today is why I got the hell of Mass years ago. But I will add the very high taxes in that state as well.
Maura Healey was an incompetent AG and the people of this state voted for her to be the governor 😂
She was the one when she was AG that let the Steward Hospital debacle happen. No one talks about that. She allowed the for profit to happen. She shld have stopped it then, but she didn't, and then when it all fell apart, she acted all angry and shocked. What a loser.
The same people were ready to vote for a dementia ridden POTUS
@@Linda-v8d
This error was committed during the Baker Administration. If you examine the federal guidance published by the Treasury on how these funds could be applied towards unemployment costs, the use of fund rules are very clear. It is difficult to envision a responsible manager making a mistake…..this was likely willful non-compliance by the Baker team, and individuals should be held accountable.
@@petetiernan7153 They passed that idea through the AGs office
Keep up the great work. Love your channel . I moved from MA to escape the madness. I’m down south now and happier than ever . Good to see you discussing many reasons I left .
appreciate it mike, where did you end up going?
😂😂😂 the former Attorney General was shocked, shocked to discover this I’m sure 😂😂😂😂
She should have caught it as AG
So glad your channel came up in my feed. Finally, a voice of reason in my state.
happy you're here with us!
They should pay it from the rainy day fund one lump sum, would be the cheapest solution. Nothing will change here we are one party state.
Trump has Massachusetts and Healy in the crosshairs.
Hopefully we need someone to clean these disgraceful politicians out of office. Healey and warren shameless women
Baker did suck!!
You love to see it. Way to go Massachusetts!
Without proper controls on the inflow of illegal immigrants and the homeless, the Medical Civil Rights Act and other social welfare programs will quickly overwhelm a state's financial resources. As a result, state officials often lose sight of their primary responsibility to the citizens and taxpayers. This situation ultimately leaves citizens and businesses financially burdened and deprived of essential services.
People will Mass exodus.
A Lack of Transparency & Accountability. Horrific Stewards of Taxpayer$' Fund$ & time Mis$pent on issues of lesser Priority. 😔
Yea welcome to the one party state 😢
How did we become responsible for gov baker screw up as a taxpayer I remember I was asleep in bed with no notice this was happening during his administration
THEN LET BAKER PAY IT BACK
That's one reason people are moving amoung many others. Sad
The list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
How TF do you mistake $2.5 billion?
Look at all the PPI loans given out to businesses and LLC’s that were in loan forgiveness (it’s published online .gov)While these companies were still dong business as usual and making money off of the consumer/corp. business “Double Dipping” 😮😮
I want to leave this state!
Me too 25 + years now but I'm a hostage ....
We… the citizens… no no no the “politicians “ who don’t KNOW HOW TO MANAGE FUNDS ! Disgusting!
Hey Massachusetts, how’s that one party rule working out for ya?🇺🇸
Not all of us voted blue
"Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt," meaning that if you provide people with basic necessities (bread) and distractions (circuses), they will be too complacent to rebel against authority
Thank you for uncovering the corruption, we need a podcaster like you representing Massachusetts
Get Wu out of office.
r.i.n.o. baker
Yes...Baker was a Demorat in disguise. Look at the MBTA housing bill he passed before he left.
6:20 Does ANYONE actually believe the State has a rainy day fund??
Baker is a Weld scam
Mass hole country is slowly sinking. Slow. GET OUT WHY YOU CAN.
Nothing that another tax or fee can't fix...😵💫
once they discovered the mis use of funds, they still proceeded to blow money like its going out of style.
Really great takes at the end of the video. 🔥
Appreciate it!
I’m with you. I enjoy your channel. Start solving them.
First of all I love your channel and thank you for you continuous effort in keeping g our state accountable. It is a shame how our tax money is being mishandled and I am so angry at this state and their lack of care for their citizens. I honestly don’t think that the money was mishandled, it just don’t make sense. Maybe some theft could be something to look at seeing that Baker was leaving office soon. I wouldn’t overlook it considering everything that’s going on. Who keeps these people accountable and why aren’t they doing their jobs? Ugh 🤬
The resources that he speaks of are the highest taxes in the country
They say “reform” but who the hell is held accountable for this level of incompetence when it’s borderline criminal???
Who do you blame. I believe we have billions in surplus. Baker was always a joke adding thousands of jobs for his friends.
Where was this in the State of the Wealthy?
Why do the tax payers have to pay for this the politicians and all involved should lose there assets yo pay for this. No sccountability any more.
How convenient to blame Baker. I hope he comes out to refute this claim.
Interesting though that almost on the same day of the budget announcement about the $2.1 billion payback, Healey also makes the announcement that she plans to pump at least $2.5 billion into facilities at state universities and community colleges by the middle of the 2030s. How interesting the amount look almost identical.
So my question is, is SHE the one reallocating money that we do IN FACT HAVE to upgrade state universities and community colleges???? I mean she was working for Biden and we know how much they lied.
Shouldn't this have been caught by the State Auditor? Just a reminder: Suzanne Bump, a Democrat, was the State Auditor during all years of the Baker administration.
To have a small/startup business in MA (think S-corp) that is a $500 EVERY year fee. YOU want to setup a sub-entity for a pensoon scheeme,no problem, an additional $500 a year. By far the worst state to start a new business vs EVERY other state.
You just summed up MA in the first minute. We pour money on problems that never get solved. Too many hands in the pot.
With all of the money spent on Ukraine and given to the Taliban why can't both sides agree to write off the unemployment as pandemic caused and wipe it away?
As someone that moved from NH to mass, I WISH everyday I could go back 🤣🤣
Whenever people complain about how there shoukd have been reforms prior, they never say what shoukd have been done. You have two issues here. State wrongly used fededal funds for unemployment during a time of extreme strain on the system. You also have business leaders saying the UI tax is too high. So what reforms could be done to fund the system so it's solvent if unemployment reaches 9-10%, and make business owners happy?
They could have started with not giving themselves a raise, but we all know that only the most greedy politicians survive on Beacon Hill.
Are the heads of that agency still around?
Good work. The Herald had this as a mini story. We are already hemorrhaging money and didn’t need this.should be a major headline
I’m surprised Biden did not pardon anyone and everyone who had something to do with this
A friend said she was overpaid unemployment and thr state is demanding she pay back a year’s worth. The MA state took het state tax refund.
...I went to Boston once & 1 time I over heard a conversation that there are (D.E.I. maybe) New Boston Police Cops working extra claiming 4-6 hours but are leaving after 2 hours of work & some NOT showing up at all. But you know what, Liberals in Massachusetts, you know all those white "College Graduates", THEY do NOT mind paying those crazy Taxes. Even if you sell your home & move out, the State can keep what 10%? I feel bad for New Hampshire & southern Maine because people from Mass. are moving there. Hence that's why New Hampshire & Maine is getting VERY expensive & Taxes are going UP!
It is governor Healy, let her give account of her spending
The arrogance of our”elite”
$210k per year sounds nothing to the state though…
I once owned a Family Taxi Cab Business that my dad bought back in 1945. I sold out in 1999 because of this state's small ANTI BUSINESS ATTITUDE.
Baker betrayed us. Totally screwed us with this deeply flawed MBTA Communities Act.
##FreeKarenRead
For last year and a half they have been talking and we find out about this just now?
And now Healey wants to renovate all our state college and university campuses?
have you ever heard of western mass. boston has not. . im so sick of hearing about east of the conn river. they have ruined every town here by having no parking spaces on the street,.so no business , then they build a terrible road that fails. and want us to worship there grant money ...
Live in RI . Not perfect but I would not live in Massachusetts if you paid the rent.
Cost mismanagement will continue to be an issue as long as Democrats continue to be in charge. Full stop.
Killing Business 101 - OVER TAX & earn the title of Taxachusetts.
Corruption.
🤣😂😜. Good luck with that!!!!
just a quick note; your microphone' sound is too harsh to listen...please check....it is constructive feedback....
I appreciate that I'll check out this video again
So, where is Charlie Baker?? No wonder he didn't run for office again🙄
Both States are involved in Corruption! We need to vote these Democrats out period !
The next San Francisco. Rip Boston
Sounds like fake news
A DEM did not do this. A GOPer did.
Makes me wonder about Romney and Healy.
We do not progress because we keep electing the GOPinto the Governorship of the state.
All these problems started at the top. No one to blame, but yourselves you voted for these clowns.
